2014 PSF Members' Meeting Minutes

The Python Software Foundation

Minutes of the 2014 Members' Meeting

July 23, 2014

The Python Software Foundation (the "PSF") held its annual members'
meeting on July 23, 2014 at 17:30 CEST in the BCC Berlin in Berlin, Germany (EuroPython 2014). The
agenda is available here.
Marc-Andre Lemburg presided over
the meeting and also prepared these minutes with the assistance of EJ.

Basically the same as on the PSF members ML. It's better to
invest work in making communication channels safer than to
spend time on moving the PSF. Most of the PSF sponsors are
US based, so a move would have a direct probably negative
effect on the PSF income.

Members did see the potential for problems, but did not feel
that we should set up rules such a limits of number of
contributing members per project right now. Instead, we
should make sure that we get the needed information from
contributing members to monitor the effects:

have a field with the project name to which the
member contributes in the database

With the new e-vote system in place, we no longer have fixed voting times, but instead call for votes on an ad-hoc basis.
Discussion of the votes will happen on the psf-members list which is open to all voting PSF members.

If there are any known upcoming votes at the time of the meeting, we will give a short overview.

It was also suggested that we put a text on the voting page
that reminds of the fact that votes are anonymous and personal
and should not be biased by corporate needs.
